Is there any way to disable/turn off the X-Button feature in the HTC ROM? It kind of interferes with some other apps I run.
There's a control panel applet for it. You can disable it there.

Uh where?? In the Settings somewhere? I've not been able to find anything relating to it, I was hoping there might be a registry tweak for it.

Just go to settings and look for Task Manager...
Hold down on the X (or on the icon where the X is at the Today screen) and you'll see a menu with options, or gears. Turn it off there.
Got it, thanks!

i was looking at a way to either hide or remove the calander contact buttons on the bottom of the screen?
Find/Download AdvancedConfig And Open it and go to Menu -> Keymapping. You change them to be something else.

Hi,
I am trying to find a way of assigning the hardware key to launch the backlight application. Preferably the button the the top left of the device which is currently used for the voice speed dial.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Ronan
I changed mine from Voice Dial to Comm Manager by going to the button icon in settings and there is a list there, Im not sure what programs are on there but its a start.

Hi,
Thanks for the advice, unfortunately the backlight option is not on this menu. I wonder if it is possible to add it via registry entry or some other means.
Ronan
hmm i kno there is some kind of "display off" program u can find, then u can go under the buttons settings and select that program to be under a certain button... see if u can find it, ill try and find a link for it and send it to ya.
Personally I do not have my diamond yet.
but for those who do:
what kind of tweaking options did you find?
list them here.
I would be very interested to adjust the icons in the touch menu in the button. for example, i do not use email on my phone, so taking that icon out would be really great.

have a look at the "Diamond tweaks" thread
I just got my Fuze last week and I have seen TONS of awesome threads (thanks XDA!) but I haven't come across anything solid to replace the task manager that came with the stock rom (I haven't installed a new rom because there isn't one that jumps out at me). I had Celetask on my Dash and loved it. Anyone have any suggestions/recommendations? While Celetask was awesome on the Dash, I don't really feel like paying for the English PPC version.
I'm using HandySwitcher.
How do you disable the stock one?
Looks like I am just going to have to live with it.

You can shut it off by going to Settings > System > Task Manager > Button. Uncheck both boxes and then you can install a variety of other task managers.
I am using Implicit Software's Task Manager and Switcher. I really like on my Fuze because I have a little button at the top of each screen that let's me switch to any open app. There is also the 3D task manager which you can assign to a hardware button and it will rotate to each task.
I use pBar - it's a great little task manager.
I personally like Wktask. It's light and very functional. You can set it to a hardware button (which can't be done with HTC X-button) and bring up a quicklauncher menu with things like Close, Close All, Toggle Data Conn, and programs from Start Menu.
WkTask is the best with no contest.... http://soft.photoracer.net/docs/wktask_en.html
And I see they have a new version out!!!
WkTask gives you running application buttons to your start bar, like in your normal windows pc. And thats among other things and functions it does....
Ditto for WkTask

I second that. I'm also using HandySwitcher and it's really good!

Does it actually work on your Touch Pro? I tried it and it slowed TF3D to a crawl.
I think WkTask is the best! Usr it my self

I like Wktask, but it has a strange quirk to it when TF2D or TF3D is enabled. In the task bar, there is a generic window icon that I can't seem to remove or hide when Wktask is enabled. Does anybody else have this problem?

tap and hold on it and click "hide always"
A while back, i started off with the HTC Task Manager and then switched to Wisbar Lite. With HTC's neweset Task Manager, i went with it instead of Wisbar Lite.
Are there any finger-friendly solutions other than the HTC manager?
WKTask's built in brightness control doesn't work on Raphael, at least not when I tested a few weeks back. Anybody have luck getting that to work?
EDIT: version 1200a brightness control works!

I am torn at which TM to use now, I guess I'll try them all and see how it goes!
Hi all
I've had a look around the forums, and i cant seem to find a definitive answer to what im looking for, and im certain ive seen it in a rom somewhere
what im looking for is the following:
A program which allows me to change the orientation of the screen by means of a start menu shortcut (not the one which normally be in the settings -> screen -> orientation, that menu seems to be missing on my rom)
does anyone know of a program (preferably free), that is small, and lightweight that can do this?
many thanks
Search for Gsen or Gyrator in forum.
ive done the searches, ive used gsen/gyrator, those are automatic screen rotators which change the orientation of the screen using the inbuilt accelorometer
i am looking for someting which i can use to manually change the orientation of the screen, a bit like the orientation switcher which was built into the screen settings menu
nobody?
surely someone must know of a program that can do this
ScreenRotator
http://www.pocketkai.net/asp/en/index-en.html
Saerch for the freeware ScreenRotator.net at this site.
QuickMenu has that feature which will replace your Start Menu. you can do that by tapping an menu item then.
Unless I misunderstand, install AEbutton and map one of your buttons to screen orientation.
Hey Stix,
To enable the screen rotation icon from the Settings>Screen menu, edit the registry: "HKLM\System\GDI\Rotation\HideOrientationUI" and change the value to 0. Go to the Screen page and you'll see the Portrait/Landscape option.
After enabling the screen rotation option, you can map the talk button to rotate the screen with a long press. Start>Settings>Buttons; just look for the <Rotate Screen> option from the pull down menu.
You don't have to go to the Start menu, doesn't use resources (I'm guessing) and it's free!
Hope this helps.
TF3D doesn't rotate even when you select the <Rotate Screen> option (unless the keyboard is popped out, obviously). Only applications and the Windows menus will rotate if you manually rotate the screen.
thank you very much my good man!
this is perfect, i use my raphael to read a lot of pdf's and docs, and i recently discovered documents to go which does everything i want except change the orientation!
many thanks asdfjklqwerty!
I use this, AAHRotate0-90.CAB or AAHRotate0-270.CAB on my Touch Pro.

I just searched for these cabs. I can only find them on a Chinese website which I can't read. It requires login to download the files. Does anyone have these cabs and could they be posted please.
Thanks

Hi,
you can try this attached cab. Hope it's what you're looking for.
P.S. Cab file extracted from ROMeOS v1.95.4.
Excellent! Works like a charm on my HTC Vox. I know this forum is for Touch Pro, but since I found the software here...

AAHRotate 1.0
I do it with AE Button, but if you have SK Tools, these shortcuts will also do it (use the shortcut manager if you want; these probably work with the free version, too):
Code:
Portrait:
1#\Windows\skstart.exe #DMO_P
Landscape:
1#\Windows\skstart.exe #DMO_L
